My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1693

Zera's performance outshone all previous efforts.

"I bought this bench. I'll use it however I want. Stop acting here. Aiken, take her and leave immediately. Otherwise, if I lose my temper and my depression kicks in, I might really burn this house down.

"Maybe I'll even kill myself to go find Wendy. That would be way better than sitting here, sickened by the two of you," Simona sneered coldly.

Didn't Aiken want to yell at her? Fine. They could hurt each other. What did she have to fear?

Anyone she didn't like would never, ever step through this door in her lifetime!

The mention of "depression" instantly extinguished the flicker of anger in Aiken's eyes. But the words "suicide" and "Wendy" made him quickly step forward, gripping Simona's arm tightly. "Do you know where Wendy is? Did she commit suicide?"

"She doesn't even want you—why would she contact me? Even if she did, I wouldn't have the face to talk to her. I was talking about myself wanting to commit suicide.

"Wendy wouldn't end her life over a man. She's capable of building a better life for herself—why would she choose to die? I just thought dying sounds more fun. Living is disgusting." Simona smirked, her tone flippant.

She wasn't afraid of provoking Aiken. The two of them had depended on each other for so many years that they knew each other inside out.

Her frequent thoughts of suicide came from a genuine belief that life held little meaning. The only reason she kept going was to avoid hurting Aiken and worrying her friends.

For the past two years, she had been quietly seeing a therapist. Her depression hadn't improved, but she had managed to suppress her suicidal urges.

Now that she had spoken openly about it, she felt an odd sense of relief.

Zera, meanwhile, rolled her eyes internally. Suicide? As if anyone would believe that.

"You should leave," Aiken said suddenly, turning to Zera.
